calculate_escape_velocity

Calculate the minimum speed required for an object to escape a celestial body's gravitational pull using mass, radius, and gravitational constant inputs.

Instructions

Calculate escape velocity: v_escape = √(2GM/r).

Minimum speed needed to escape a celestial body's gravitational pull. Independent of the escaping object's mass. Args: mass: Mass of celestial body in kg radius: Radius of celestial body in meters gravitational_constant: G in m³/(kg⋅s²) (default 6.674e-11) Returns: Dict containing: - escape_velocity: v_escape in m/s - escape_velocity_kmh: v_escape in km/h (for convenience) Tips for LLMs: - Earth: v_escape ≈ 11,200 m/s (40,320 km/h) - Moon: v_escape ≈ 2,380 m/s - Sun: v_escape ≈ 617,500 m/s - Independent of escape direction or mass of escaping object Example - Earth escape velocity: result = await calculate_escape_velocity( mass=5.972e24, # Earth mass (kg) radius=6.371e6 # Earth radius (meters) ) # v_escape ≈ 11,186 m/s
